Trust your instincts...

So, I learned two things yesterday....
1.Valentine's Day and Cupid still do not recognize motherhood as an obstacle to romance.
2.Cupid should get in the know.

Why you ask???
Well... here is why...
No one's Valentine's Day can possibly recover when the morning starts with the words...
and I quote...
"Juicy Poops"

Man, it was all downhill from there. It reminded me of this Valentine's Day... click the link to read. Apparently I cannot escape it.

The title? "Trust your instincts" well...
Let me put this gently...
okay there is no way to put it gently, let me just say it...
When one has a young son, who starts his day with the term "Juicy poops" and then uses the bathroom twice, once involving the need to wipe the JP from his bum and his foot... yeah foot, don't ask. ( JP is the new abbreviation there for Juicy Poops, stay with me k?)

So, once one has been through these things, once should KNOW, just KNOW that when the cute little romantic Valentine meal she has prepared for her men is interrupted with many loud and disturbing gaseous sounds...

One should trust her instincts...

ME: "Em, was that a juicy fart, like your juicy poop?"
(yes, I actually spoke those words. Sad that I used to converse about current events and such isn't it?)
EM: "No Ma, that just a tooty."
ME: "Are you sure????"
EM: "Yep, I sure. "

I knew. I knew I should have checked. I mean, why did I trust a three year old? He lies. It's like asking a dog if he's licked his butt today. You know the answer...
I did ask Micah to check, but come on... Dad's just don't realize how low the JF z0ne is in those undies, you gotta really pull back and look... you know what I mean Moms... you have to pull back just so and get a peek...
But be careful... you pull too far and you know what you end up with a finger full of...
(and the JF is for Juicy fart, cause really, if I write those words again, I will be forced to turn in my femininity.)

So, this morning it all comes back to haunt me...
the sounds
the denial
the false positive father peek

I should have trusted my instincts and went in for the check...
Cause what I found, well... it is not fit for discussion. Suffice to say, there is one very cute pair of undies in the trash because there are just some things that are beneath me, and yes, washing the JPs and the JFs out of the BVDs is one of them...

Happy Valentines's Day to one and all...

And the scrappy stuff...
The LO is for Unpubbed and that great red paper... from Memorable Seasons, a new online store. Jill is the owner and that order was here FAST and even had some Primas in it as an extra! Go check her out! :)


And... my picture for the first challenge on the We SPy You Spy blog. Beth and Nicole are doing this one and it looks like a great way to get your photography ideas flowing... The first spy was something beautiful...
I took this picture at my friend Heather's shower and I loved it! Plus, I haven't touched it with editing software at all, so I am a little proud. :)


If you have read all this you are to be commended... or is that committed?
